I would like to report a sighting I had on Wednsday March 20th at
7.30pm. The anomoly was a bright white light, twice as big as the brightest
star in the sky. It was travelling aprox. 65 to 70 degrees above the eastern
horizon high up and pretty much directly south to north. It was very bright 4
of us noticed it as soon as it crossed the southern tree line. I live in the
Leppington area above Sydney towards the mountains. I watched it disappear
behind the northern tree line, it took 5 minutes 7.30pm to 7,35pm, it was
travelling slowly, slower than a plane and there was no sound. I viewed it
through binoculars for at least 2 minutes, I could see no structure just
light. As I was watching it I could feel a humming and vibration kind of like
an electrical charge. The other 3 witnesses dismissed it as a satellite, Im
not so sure. I made the necessary enquiries and this is the reply I recieved
back.

The sun would have been 5.5 degrees below the horizon at 7.30pm on the
20th March 2002. Although it is possible to see a satellite under such
conditions, it is not common. Some satellites can flare quite brightly
notably the iridium constellation, so still might be seen at that time. I did
check and there were no iridium flares predicted for Leppington at that
time.
